The accident caused serious traffic build up that lasted for hours, especially during the rush hours of the morning.

All the tricycles had serious impact with the lorry laden with goods, which damaged them beyond repair, even as it was not clear at press time why some of the tricycles appeared to be facing oncoming traffic.

Efforts made to get any of the lorry drivers involved in the accident for their comments failed as they securely locked their vehicles and scampered into safety.

Sympathisers, who were at the scene when Vanguard arrived about 8.15am, said some of the injured persons were quickly moved to the hospital for immediate medical attention.

While some of the people blamed the operatives of the state’s Environmental Transformation Commission, ENTRACO, for the mishap, others claimed that both the tipper and trailer had break failure.

However, none of the fellows that hinged the road crash to break failure was able to explain why the trailer and tipper eventually stopped on the road and not crashing off the road..

None of the traffic policemen, men of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps agreed to talk to Vanguard at the scene but busied themselves in controlling traffic.
